CIA may assist Iraqis with security

If needed....

"As the responsibility for nurturing bilateral relations shifts to the State Department, the responsibility for security assistance moves to the C.I.A., which operates in Iraq under a separate authority, independent of the military.

Although the United States military is unlikely to return to Iraq, it is possible that military counterterrorism personnel could return, if approved by the president, under C.I.A. authority, just as an elite team of Navy commandos carried out the raid that killed Osama bin Laden under C.I.A. command.

The C.I.A. historically has operated its own strike teams, and it also has the authority to hire indigenous operatives to participate in its counterterrorism missions."

Does that mean the(C.I.A.)will cease & desist planting bombs in market places?Does anyone remember when(I.P.)police arrested British(MI5)agents unshaven,well tanned,wearing tunics & keffeyahs in Basra with a khera load of explosives?Or when American regular army elements arrested at a checkpoint several Turkish special forces,with a khera load of weapons in Ninevah province heading towards Kirkuk!?!?Also,Iranians were arrested at a compound currently being squated in by (ISCI)leaders this Shi'a Islamist party are funded by Irans Al-Quds brigade!!!

This Nouri al Maliki I consider to be my arch-enemy in Iraq. I will stop at nothing to see him gone. Maybe if he loses his puppet_PM position, some of his security will be taken away? I hope he doesn't manage to escape the country. I've been waiting for 5.5 years for a final showdown with him.

'An al-Qaeda-affiliated group has claimed responsibility for a wave of bombings in Baghdad on Thursday that killed at least 65, saying that it “knows where and when to strike.”

The group, Islamic State of Iraq, issued a communique on jihadist forums Monday, providing details about one of the attacks, a suicide car bombing that targeted an anti-corruption agency headquarters, according to the SITE Intelligence Group, a jihadist monitoring service. The group referred to the bombings as the “Thursday invasion” and said that it was acting against what it called Iraq’s Shiite-controlled government.'

Baghdad in 2000: "A woman known as Um Haydar was beheaded reportedly without charge or trial at the end of December 2000. She was 25 years' old and married with three children. Her husband was sought by the security authorities reportedly because of his involvement in Islamist armed activities against the state. He managed to flee the country. Men belonging to Feda'iyye Saddam came to the house in al-Karrada district and found his wife, children and his mother. Um Haydar was taken to the street and two men held her by the arms and a third pulled her head from behind and beheaded her in front of the residents. The beheading was also witnessed by members of the Ba'ath Party in the area. The security men took the body and the head in a plastic bag, and took away the children and the mother-in-law. The body of Um Haydar was later buried in al-Najaf. The fate of the children and the mother-in-law remains unknown."
